Rather than simply requesting that 136 West 20th Street remain open, the Friends Steering Committee has actively worked to research local options for affordable housing. Their list of possible sites titled, “Working Draft of Alternate Affordable Housing Sites to 136 West 20th Street” has grown from a dozen to 23 properties. Four are government-owned buildings and the rest are privately-owned/potential Housing Asset Renewal Pilot Program (H.A.R.P.) candidates.
